I was twelve years old, when my grandma died
i can never forget seeing  my grandpa cry

They were married together for almost sixty years
And- GOD knows---together--- they --faced --all --their fears


They-- raised --ten --children-- on --the-- FARM
My --LOVING --GRAND -MA,-- she --had --so-- much-- CHARM
 ill ---always--- remember--- her--- warm ---EMBRACE
and ---the ---loving ---smile -- upon--- her----FACE

My -grand -ma -and --grandpa, --for-- almost--- all -their --LIFE
they ---were--- so ---happy ---as ---husband ---and ---WIFE

When --i --was --a --boy, --of --twelve-- years--OLD
i --wanted-- a --loving-- woman-- as --my --grandma --so --strong --and --BOLD

When ---my ---grandma ---DIED
my ---dear--- old ---grand- pa ---CRIED

For--- almost---all ---of---their--- LIFE
they --were --together-- as --HUSBAND-- and. --WIFE


When-- i --was-- a --boy --of --twelve --years --OLD
like --my --grand -pa,--  i --wanted --to --be --strong --and --BOLD

The ---woman ---that --i ---married ---would ---have ---to ---BE

For--- almost--- all ---of ---their ---LIFE
